Delivering Infrastructure in Africa

Location:Zone C1 - Room 6 (Rudolf Sallinger Saal)Track:Unlock Opportunities

Africa’s infrastructure demand is growing rapidly — but how can Austrian companies access and develop projects? And how can they benefit from funding and investment initiatives, such as the European Commission’s Global Gateway Strategy?

This panel brings together representatives from industry, finance, public institutions as well as the European Commission to discuss concrete business opportunities in infrastructure sectors such as rail and energy. The discussion will focus on partnerships, project acquisition, and practical pathways for Austrian companies to position themselves in African infrastructure projects and make use of European and bilateral funding and investment instruments.
